Thrombosis occurs when an imbalance in the blood coagulation system causes a blood clot or thrombus to form, blocking blood flow through a vein or artery and posing health risks. A thrombus can detach and lodge in the lungs, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. The normal response that prevents significant blood loss after an injury is called hemostasis, involving platelets, cells, and activation of coagulation factors to form a blood clot.
